Tarkin

I liked how this book covered Tarkin's younger years, it did a great job demonstrating how he became who he was, why he thinks how he did and how he got to be where he was.

The bulk of the book told a story of an incident where Tarkin worked with the emperor and Vader to track down a cell of rebels. There were moments of excitement, but I found it hard to really be engaged with the story. Perhaps I was just rooting for Tarkin's enemies and had a hard time engaging with the story of successes for the empire.
